FYS 131 \u2013 Veteran integration into higher education \u2013 Cultural understanding Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\n
The purpose of the course is to explore and examine the challenges for Veterans integrating into the world of higher education. Additionally, Veterans probe the differences and similarities between the military and civilian culture, while conducting serious inquiry into the cultural aspects of the Veteran experience within higher education. The overall purpose is to build upon Veterans global cultural experiences and critical thinking skills as a framework to recognize and assess how culture fashions the human experience.<\/p>\n
Veterans, by virtue of their military experience, have been exposed to diverse ethnicities and cultures. Furthermore, Veterans often undergo significant training before deploying to overseas locations regarding language, religion, social mores, and significant historical episodes. The Cultural Understanding designation affords the opportunity for Veterans to utilize their substantial knowledge and global awareness as a bridge to success in higher education and professional endeavors.<\/p>\n
